This is a review of evidence for contextualization, defined here as an instructional approach connecting foundational skills and college-level content. Two forms of contextualization are identified, contextualized and integrated instruction. Despite methodological limitations, the available studies suggest that contextualization has the potential to accelerate the progress of academically under...

In this paper, we present a method of tweet contextualization by using a semantic space to extend the tweet vocabulary. This method is evaluated on the tweet contextualization benchmark. Contextualization is build with the sentences from English Wikipedia. The context is obtained by querying a baseline system of summary. The query is made with words from a semantic space that is estimated via a...

Semantic Web applications in the humanities that visualize knowledge are still few and far between. The Visual Contextualization of Digital Content (VICODI) project brought together Semantic Web technologies with the concepts of contextualization and visualization of knowledge, an approach which we term visual contextualization. The goal was to enhance users’ understanding of digital content in...

Agents interact with each other within a set of norms, which is expressed at different levels of abstraction that capture different contexts and operationalizations. Current normative frameworks deal with norm operationalization, yet few consider the contextual aspects of norms. Moreover, most frameworks are based on the independent evaluations of norms, which makes it difficult to evaluate int...

To allow search on the Web of data, systems have to combine data from multiple sources. However, to effectively fulfill user information needs, systems must be able to “look beyond” exactly matching data sources and offer information from additional/contextual sources (data source contextualization). For this, users should be involved in the source selection process – choosing which sources con...

This paper deals with tweet contextualization evaluation. Text contextualization is defined as providing the reader with a summary allowing a reader to understand a short text that, because of its size is not self-contained. A general evaluation framework for tweet contextualization or other type of short texts is defined. We propose a collection benchmark as well as the appropriate evaluation ...

Computer-mediated collaboration, a dominant mode of organizational communication particularly in dispersed and multinational organizations, introduces unique opportunities but also new problems. One of these problems is the higher risk of misunderstandings, which is more likely to occur in computer-mediated teamwork than in face-to-face teams (Cramton, 2001). Moreover, it may be particularly ac...

In this paper we describe our participation in the INEX 2016 Tweet Contextualization track. The tweet contextualization process aims at generating a short summary from Wikipedia documents related to the tweet. In our approach, we analyzed tweets and created a query to retrieve the most relevant Wikipedia article. We combine Information Retrieval and Automatic Text Summarization methods to gener...
